EXAMPLE 2

p-Chloromethylphenylglycine

A mixture of 2.03 g of trifluoroacetylated phenylglycine, 0.8 g of zincchloride in chloromethylether is heated at 65° C for 12 hours. Theexcess reagent is removed under vacuum, and the residue is dissolved inCH₂ Cl₂, washed with saturated NaHCO₃ solution then saturated sodiumchloride solution. The neutral organic phase is dried over Na₂ SO₄ andconcentrated to an oil which was purified by column chromatographyyielding the methyl ester of p-chlorophenylglycine which can beconverted to the acid hydrochloride by hydrolysis with aqueoushydrochloric acid. The hydrochloride can be converted to the free baseby adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution to about 5. Similarly, thechloromethyl derivatives listed in Table II may be prepared from thelisted acid.

By the procedure of Example 14, only substituted 1 g of7-amino-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid for3-acetyloxymethyl-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2carboxylicacid,7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]acetyl]amino]-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid is obtained. M.P. 145°-146° C.

EXAMPLE 16

3-[(Acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-amino-acetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid

p-Chloromethylphenylglycine wherein the amino group is protected withtert-butoxycarbonyl, is treated with isobutyl chloroformate in thepresence of triethylamine. The thus obtained mixed anhydride is reactedwith the triethylamine salt of3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2carboxylicacid at 0° C for about 4 hours. The resulting product is isolated andthe amine protecting group is removed by acid hydrolysis to give3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2carboxylicacid.

When an appropriate amount of an amino acid listed in the followingTable VI is substituted for p-chloromethylphenylglycine in the aboveExample 16, the corresponding cephalosporin derivative listed in thefollowing Table VI is obtained.

EXAMPLE 17

3-[(Acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-carboxyacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid

α -Carboxy-p-chloromethylphenylacetyl nitrophenyl polymer, preparedaccording to the procedure described in Canadian Pat. No. 892,580,carrying 4 m. mole of α-chloromethylphenylmalonic acid is stirred forabout 8 hours in 20 ml of dry methylene chloride solution containing 1m. mole of3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid triethylammonium salt, which is prepared from 544 mg of7-aminocephalosporanic acid (1 m. mole) and 0.56 ml of triethylamine (1m. mole) at room temperature. After only traces of7-aminocephalosporanic acid remain in solution, which is determined bythin layer chromatography on cellulose in 70% aqueous propanol, thepolymer is filtered off and washed with 3 portions of 50 ml each ofmethylene chloride. The combined filtrates are evaporated and theresidue is dissolved in 20 ml of distilled water. This solution isacidified to pH 2 by adding 0.2N hydrochloric acid and extracted twicewith ethyl acetate. The organic solution is dried over sodium sulfateand evaporated at room temperature. The reamaining solid is dried overnight over phosphorus pentoxide under vacuum to give3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-carboxyacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid.

When in the procedure of Example 17 an appropriate amount of an acidlisted in the following Table VII is substituted forp-chloromethylphenylmalonic acid the respective cephalosporin derivativelisted in Table VII are obtained

α-Carboxy-p-chloromethylphenylacetylnitrophenyl polymer prepared as inthe procedure of Example 22, carrying four m. mole ofp-chloromethylphenylmalonic acid was suspended for about 8 hours in 20ml of dry methylene chloride solution containing 1 millimole of3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid propionyloxymethyl ester. After only traces of the7-amino-cephalosporanic acid ester derivative remain in solution, whichis determined by thin layer chromatography on cellulose in 70% aqueouspropanol, the polymer is filtered off and washed with portions of 50 mleach of methylene chloride. The combined filtrates are evaporated andthe residue is dissolved in 20 ml of distilled water. The solution isacidified to a pH of 2 by adding 0.2 normal hydrochloric acid andextracted twice with ethylacetate. The organic solution is dried oversodium sulfate and evaporated at room temperature. The remaining solidis dried overnight over phosphorus pentoxide under vacuum to give3-[(acetyloxy)-methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-carboxyacetyl]-amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]-oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid propionyloxymethyl ester.

3-[(Acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(pyridiniummethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid

(A) A mixture of 7.5 g of3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid and 200 ml of pyridine is stirred at room temperature for 24 hoursafter which the solvent is removed in vacuo at room temperature. Theproduct is triturated with 2:1 benzene-acetone to give the aminepyridiniummethyl derivative.

(B) At 0° C 10 ml of trifluoroacetic acid is added to 5g of3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(pyridiniummethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylicacid wherein the 2-amino group is protected with tert-butoxycarbonylobtained in (a) above. The mixture is stirred for several minutes undera nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The excess trifluoroaceticacid is removed in vacuo and the remaining residue is triturated withdiethylether then dissolved in 175 ml of water. The solution is filteredand the pH of the filtrate adjusted to 5.5 by adding Amberlite IR4Bresin that has been washed several times with water. The resin isfiltered off and the water concentrated in vacuo. A precipitate formsfrom the concentrate which is removed and washed with ethanol to give3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-[4-(pyridiniummethyl)phenyl]-2-aminoacetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid.

In a similar manner when appropriate amounts of chloromethylatedderivatives listed in the following Table XII are reacted with pyridineas in Example 28(A) and the resulting product subsequently treated as inExample 28(B), the respective pyridiniummethyl substituted cephalosporinproducts listed in Table XII are obtained.
